Скачать или смотреть HMS Janus - Blown Up By German Aircraft

HMS Janus is one of the less-famous British destroyers of the Second World War. Often overshadowed by the Tribals or even her own sisters, Javelin and Jervis. Despite the fact that Janus was in some pretty fierce fighting for most of her active career.

Including a couple knife-fights with Italian destroyers. And an engagement with French destroyers.

Janus could be seen as a lucky ship, for most of that time. She suffered minor damage, outside of the French engagement and a mine soon after. Janus certainly fared better than Javelin.

Unfortunately, that luck ran out off Italy in 1944. Though exactly what sank her isn't clear, to this day.
